RMC Sport has reported that Nantes striker Mostafa Mohamed has officially rejected a transfer to Premier League side Wolverhampton Wanderers. The Egyptian international, who has been a key figure for the French club, made his decision despite interest from several top-flight English teams.
According to the French outlet, Wolves had approached Nantes with a formal offer in hopes of securing Mohamed’s services before the end of the summer transfer window. However, the player, who joined Nantes permanently after an initial loan from Galatasaray, is determined to stay in Ligue 1 for now.
Reasons Behind the Decision
Sources close to the player suggest that Mohamed is focused on maintaining his current form and believes that staying with Nantes will give him the stability he needs ahead of the upcoming international fixtures with Egypt. Additionally, the striker reportedly feels that moving to England at this stage might disrupt his momentum.
Mohamed’s Impact at Nantes
Since his arrival in France, Mostafa Mohamed has made a significant impact, scoring crucial goals and becoming a fan favorite at the Beaujoire Stadium. His physical presence, aerial ability, and work rate have been instrumental in helping Nantes stay competitive in Ligue 1.
Premier League Interest Remains
Despite the rejection, it is understood that several Premier League clubs, including Wolves, will continue to monitor Mohamed’s situation. His performances in both domestic and international competitions have made him one of the most sought-after forwards in European football.
For now, Nantes supporters will be relieved to see their star striker remain at the club, as they look to build on a promising start to the season.
